Try the latest developer snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ It contains a patch which should help in most cases. Let's assume this scenario: $ pwd /tmp $ mkdir t $ cmd /c mklink /j t-rep t The only case which still returns the "wrong" path is the one where you explicitely cd into the target directory of the junction reparse point and then try $ cygpath -wa . C:\cygwin\tmp\t The reason is that the POSIX cwd is set to the real directory already, so . also refers to the real directory. Working alternative: bash or dash$ cygpath -wa `pwd` C:\cygwin\tmp\t-rep tcsh$ cygpath -wa $cwd C:\cygwin\tmp\t-rep Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
